It still boggles my mind that FRC has so much trouble taking root in the Charlotte area. I know Charlotte-Mecklenberg schools don't "get it", but sheesh! (Someone wanna buy the Michael Waltrip Racing shop and stir the pot up there?)
YETI and the rest of the teams in the nearby area are working on the Charlotte track which is why we have most of the teams in the area in the Queen City Robotics Alliance. Once we have our robotics center up that should fuel this area with a lot more teams because we would not have to go through Charlotte-Mecklenburg school systems.
